Paul Roos on Nathan Jones

WITH the New Year here, melbournefc.com.au takes a look at each player’s key stats entering 2016, as coach Paul Roos provides a pre-season update on every squad member. Be sure to check back each day on melbournefc.com.au, as we present all 45 players in the first half of January …

“Nathan probably worried a bit about himself and how he’d go with not training, due to his neck injury, but by his own admission, it was probably the best thing that happened to him. He has really worked on his running – not that it is a weakness, but he knows he’s got to work on it. He got back into training pre-Christmas and has been jumping out of his skin since. His captaincy has gone to another level again, which is terrific.” – Paul Roos

“Coming from another club, Ben knows what footy is all about. He knows what he has to do and he has an AFL body. He’s a really determined kid and he leaves no stone unturned. He’s exploring a lot of things and he’s embracing everything about the footy club and we just love having him around.” – Paul Roos

“Jay has been good. He came back pretty fit and he hasn’t missed many sessions. He’s really worked hard on his game plan and the weaknesses that he has. He’s really started to become a student of the game, which is only going to help him.” – Paul Roos
